Ronn Moss Responds As To Why He Did Not Return To B&B For Stephanie's Goodbye Party!

Fans wondering, why Ridge didn’t show up at Stephanie’s Goodbye Party? Or, if Ronn Moss (Ridge) was asked to come back and participate in the episodes, after he quit the series and last aired in September, got a response from the popular star via Twitter over the weekend.

One of Ronn’s many fans asked him why he did not return for the key episodes that had all of the Forrester family gathered around Stephanie as she bid farewell to each and every one of them, before she took off to live out her final days. Ronn responded with a tweet stating, “Several reasons. I’m not on the show anymore . They didn’t ask me.”

So what do you think of Ronn not being part of Susan Flannery’s Stephanie Goodbye Party episodes? And, Ridge not being there for his mother, realizing B&B had some reshuffling to do with the timing of two of their key stars deciding to leave the series? Let us know your thoughts!

I totally disagree. I’ve watched B&B since day 1 and of all her kids Stephanie was the closest to Ridge. They had the biggest emotional tie sand I was extremely upset that Bill Bell thought this would be lost on people. He should have been invited back or did something when Ron Moss was still on camera. So ridiculous it just may make me stop watching after so many years. Extremely disappointed in seeing there goodbyes played out on screen.

Um Shelly, that should be BRAD Bell, not BILL Bell. Brad Executive Produces and Head Writes the show. Just a point of reference.

Exactly. They need to go a different route anyway…why not have another actor replace him? the circle of always going back to Ridge…why not try something new and exciting??

I totally agree I thought it was absolutely stupid to not have him there at such a sad time. He and his mum were very close on the show and for him to not be there when she was dying was ridiculous. Even if for some reason he could not or wouldn’t come back for these episodes why couldn’t they just at least mention that he were there with her at the cabin to see her while no one else was there. We all know that Ridge would never abandon his mother at a time such as this!! Super disappointed.. and the first time I thought about turning off b&b for good. What on earth were the writers thinking? Oh that’s right I’m sure they were focusing their attention on some one else right!!

Its completely unbelievable that Ridge, who is still attached to both of Stephanies apron strings, wouldnt be there for her death.

As nice as the episodes have been its been a glaring absence.

Ronn Moss states what I already thought. Still, I wish something could have been negotiated. Stephanie is dying and Ridge was her passion. I would have liked to see him there. I suspect there is a recast ahead and there should be. Ridge just cannot disappear, and a new actor with diferent energy may bring something to the character Moss did not, providing new directions as we seek in midlife. For Ridge he could find closure with Brooke or Taylor, but with one of them for good…. make peace with his children and the man he considers his father… seek new challenges such as politics.

Brad Bell, I hope, will right the ship after B&B has been aimlessly and stupidly charting waters in the Liam-Hope-Steffy sea. Like a small child, when B&B is good, it is very veyr good, but when it is bad, it is bad!

In the show’s reality it made no sense for Stephanie’s oldest son not to come to the party. I know they said later that Stephanie asked him not to come because she didn’t want Ridge to face all his drama with Brooke. And on some level I do get why Brad Bell was not prepare yet for Brooke and Ridge to meet after the split. Maybe he wanted fans to remember Ronn and Kelly in their characters happy at their wedding and bringing back Ronn as Ridge just for one episode would spoil that.

Personally I think they could have used a body double, seen Ridge from behind, have Stephanie say her goodbyes in private and have the camera never on this person’s face. Then all the other characters could have caught a glimpse of a man leaving the party; Brooke would have realize it was Ridge, run after him but he would be in a car driving away before she could talked to him. I think that would have worked.

Off topic a bit, but didn’t Ronn Moss leave the show once before? I seemed to recall that for some reason. Then they brought in the character of Nick played by Jack Wagner to be Brooke’s new love interest or I am remembering it wrong?

That would have been a great idea! Didn’t think of it myself, but it works. If they couldn’t- or wouldn’t want to- get Ronn back, that scenario would have provided the audience with some sense of closer while still enforcing the notion that Ridge as we knew him is gone from the canvas.

I haven’t exactly watched the episodes other than a few clips, but I heard characters say that Ridge was coming. I don’t like that Brad in essence deceived the audience by telling them he was coming, knowing he wasn’t inviting Ronn back…or making any substitute plans as per your suggestion…and then having a ‘gotcha’ moment to tell us he isn’t going to be there after all only after the fact. I think that’s pretty low of him, and he doesn’t strike me as that kind of an executive. I know soaps like to surprise as best and as much as they can, and often employ the old bait and switch on its audience, but this wasn’t the surprise many loyal fans were hoping for and I think it was pretty low of him to dangle the possibility in front of them in the first place.

As for your question, I’m not in a position to answer as I haven’t been a loyal viewer, but I was under the impression as part of the “fab 4” he’s been there since the beginning…..?

Mary SF, as per your question, yes, Ronn was off the show briefly and Lane Davies (Mason Capwell, Santa Barbara) substituted while Ronn was out for a bit. I don’t remember why Ronn was off the show at the time but I do know that it was Lane Davies who subbed for Ronn.

It wasn’t necessary for him to return. Ronn Moss left the show to do other things, so he should just move on. I hope they don’t replace “Ridge”, though. IMO, he is no longer necessary.

Toscanti,

You are sadly mistaken. Ronn Moss DID indeed leave because he was none too happy with the contract offer he got from the brass at B&B and CBS which I can see from Ronn’s point of view because if Brad Bell had not done all of those remote location shoots in the last year (with Italy likely costing the show upwards of around $2 million to do), he would have had the money to pay Ronn. However, it was not the sole reason he decided to leave the show. He also left the show because he needed to recharge his batteries, he and his wife Devon had just gone through a horrible car crash that could have cost them both their lives, and of course, he wanted to get back to his music. And of course, I think he was getting tired of playing the same role for over 25 years played into his decision to leave as well. But money was a bigger issue than you thought.

No doubt about it, Ridge definitely should have been there because of his extremely close tie to Stephanie. Additionally, the reason for his departure was really idiotic. Seriously, over a text from Deacon. If Moss will not return, then B&B needs to recast Ridge.

I think Brad Bell thought Ronn Moss was going to give in and come back. If he didn’t he would have filmed some phone conversations before Moss left. I know what happens on the 26th so I will skip it this love fest BB has with KKL makes me sick . I just wish she had left the show when RM did.

At first it was endearing and sweet that Brooke and Stephanie made peace, but like everything else B&B had to go and over play it to the point it became rather silly and sickening sweet. And no way any husband worth a damn would leave his dying wife to attend a business meeting. If Brooke is the only one there when Stephanie passes I will be shaking my head in disbelief that is the way Brad Bell wanted to play it.

Shame on Bell for not asking for the sake of the storyline and the show. With Ridge and Stephanie gone, B & B may very well be cancelled. Stephanie is still on the show until November 26, so there is still time for Ron Moss to come back just once more. After she dies Ron can continue on with his plans without skipping a beat. This should be about what the fans want and not any egos about a contract! Please come back one more time Ron for us and not for Bell! You are truly missed on the show and it does not make sense without you are stephanie. I respect Ron’s choice to move on but I wish the the producer and Ron would come together for the storyline and fans sake and respect us also. 25 years for the these two actors has to end like this? Really? DO THE RIGHT THING B & B AND GET HIM BACK FOR US!

If its true that the Italy remote cost $2million, then that in itself is truly idiotic, what’s worse is that they went all the way over there for Liam and Hope’s wedding and the characters aren’t even together anymore!!! What a waste!!!!! And for Brooke to give Bill a pass and be flirting with him after he’s spent the last 2yrs tormenting her daughter is beyond idiotic….the whole Steffy/Liam/Hope stroy was way overplayed and now they have Liam and Steffy all lovey dovey and dating….Liam and Hope never even had a chance bc someone was always coming between them(Rick, Bill, Oliver, Steffy, Taylor, Thomas) they never got a fair shot at a relationship……

I agree with Richard. What’s up with everyone coming between Hope and Liam. But I have to wonder if the addition of Don Diamont, aka Bill Spencer had something to do with Ron Moss leaving. A new Alpha male on the show probably didn’t set to well with “Ridge Forrester”

I do not know the Bell’s, but based on watching the shows (Y&R, B&B) when William (Bill) Bell was still with us, verses Brad’s tenure at the helm. I am overall profoundly disappointed that Brad has allowed ego to diminish the work of art his father created. Removing the option for Mr Moss to return (by at least not asking him) for one scene to bring a close to the legacy of his fathers incredible brillance and creation of “The Bold and The Beautiful” is sad, disturbing and gives what I believe is a clear blue print of his loyalty to the cast that started it all and his objective for only monetary gains. I have watched B&B for the entire 25years 19 of those with my mother before she passed away, it was a son and mother experience that I will never forget. I have watched Y&R for 35 years, with the help of VHS, DVR and a play by play from mom. I do not say this lightly nor as a means of hatred, but I find myself moving forward with no desire to view either show again. We pay homage to the genius of those that have passed by carrying on their legacy, not by allowing it to simply exist for the sake of a dollar.

Unfortunately, a soap opera is a business so at the end of the day the powers that be care more about the bottom line than honoring legacies. It is a shame, because many viewers feel as you do that watching a soap is can be a part of life’s experience and not just entertainment. We grew up on these stories, watching them with our mothers, maybe fathers, aunts or uncles, best friends, children and in some cases grandchildren. So we are disappointed when those experiences are reduced to ratings and a dollar sign. Whether you continued to watch or not is your choice, but either way it sounds like you have a lot of wonderful memories connected to these shows, and that is one things networks, or EP’s can never take away from you. Cherish that- for that is your legacy.

I think it stinks Ron Moss wasn’t asked or didn’t that he didn’t ask them to let him show up at the party to say good bye. I think he has gotten too big for his britches. Too have this “I am so much in love with each other wddding.” between Brook and Ridge and then he qiuits. I think the reason the writers gave that he didn’t come back was so lame it makes me think they are under estimating we the viewers. Kill him off if he thinks he is too good for the show. Or he was kidnapped or lost at sea at least. Not the studip she lied again especially about Deacon. What stupid writing!!!! Speaking of viewers who cares about the 25 t0 34 year olds. The soaps are for us older woman and yes, men, who have been watching for years and we are retired and need these shows to continue. We are the ones who have the money to buy the products that are used to pay for the shows. Get with it all of you. Kay

Let’s not forget that Susan Flannery did indeed not re-sign her contract HOWEVER she did stick around so that Brad B. could give both the character and the actor the proper sendoff that was so deserving. Which was way more professional and classy than what Ronn Moss did. Not to mention that if he truely valued and cared about Susan as a co-worker and friend — HE himself should have talked with Brad B. about such an a arrangement to come back and surprise the cast, especially Susan — since Susan even attempted to intervene and asked him to come back so that he could say goodbye to her (his mother).

If I were Brad Bell I would not even bother with RONN MOSS — if he has a desire to bring back the character of Ridge then I’d say definitely RECAST — just no more Ronn Moss. When I first heard of his quitting, I actually thought to myself what a great opportunity for Brad to bring a new and much better actor than Ronn Moss. He’s a lousy actor…no more….

Just saw some of stephanies last episode today but could not watch the end due to it not making sense. I dont care how long Brooke has been on the show, she should not have been the person with Stephanie in the end. Bell messed this storyline up not asking Ron Moss to return @ least for this last episode. After today Bell and Moss could have done whatever they wish. The fans were the ones who got hurt! Ron Moss said one of the reasons he did not return is that he was not asked! THAT WAS VERY DISAPOINTING AND DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL INVOLVED ESPECIALLY THE FANS! Unsure if this show will survive cus of the way this ended. I dont care how much of friends Brooke and Stephanie became they could have had Ridge standing by watching silently without Stephanie knowing –JUST HAVE THE MAN THERE TO LEAVE US IN SUPENSE WANTING MORE. Then change characters if need be but it should not have ended this way! Shame on you Brad Bell! Thanks for letting your egos get in the way of what would have been a WONDERFUL STORYLINE AND A GREAT SEND OFF FOR SUSAN FLANNERY!

Shame on Ronn Moss and B&B for not thinking of their fans!!!!!!! Ron should have been there as the devoted and loving son, Ridge to say his final farewell to Stephanie. Even though Ron noted he was not invited to return for Stephanie’s final farewell, he should have invited himself and B&B should have gladly arranged for a special guess appearance. It was not fair that we, the fans lost two great actors without having a chance to see them appear together at such touching time. Ron’s departure ended one of the soap opera’s greatest love couples ever. Shame, shame and shame again!!!! I still love you Ron but I miss you as Ridge. Please, please come back. I also love you Susan and will really miss your character as Stephanie. B&B will not be the same without you. I have been a fan of yours since I watched you play Laura Horton on Days of Our Lives. I wish you and Ron the best and thank you for many years of sharing yourselves with me. God bless you both. B&B shame on you!You have a lot to make up to B&B fans. Please do not put Brook with Bill Spencer. I suggest you use a substitue Ridge and hopefully Ron will return as the one and only Ridge sometime (soon) in the future.

Yes, the show has certainly changed over the years. I was drawn in by the Brooke/Caroline/Ridge/ triangle and Brooke’s cop fiance-remember that! The writing has suffered ups and downs over the years and with that the characters were suppose to elvove. But one thing remained a constant-Ridge and his mom. I guess they thought a Brooke/Steph truce would be a replacement. Poor writing is what will be the death knell for B&B.

I’ve been watching the B & B for 30 years. Ron Moss was my heartthrob as well as many other women’s. Lately, we was put on the back burner and not used as much as Bill’s son. I know the staff likes to appeal to the younger set but the older viewers who have watched for years are very faithful. I think they should bring Moss back, give him what he requests as far as salary (if that was the issue) and give him equal time with the younger set. Brooke is great as was Stephanie. Everyone likes to see stories with people of all ages. I hope the writer’s and produces are not ageists and have consideration for all of their viewers. My husband who is a doctor likes to also come home from his long workday and watch this soap.

We are only just viewing the final episodes in Australia now with the goodbyes said at the party today. I along with so many other fans cannot believe Ridge was not present if only in a small scene. The character has just basically disappeared and even more obvious in this absence is the brief return of sisters Felicia and Kristans appearance. It’s sooooo messed up. I would go so far to compare it to the final episode of Friends and not seeing Rachel or Monica for the final episode. It makes no sense and professionally speaking wasn’t well planned for the devoted fans.

That aside it’s been very sad viewing indeed and I will continue to watch it 🙂

There will never be another Ridge, he was that unique. I have also watched since its insertion and for me its been going down hill for some time now. For example, enough already with the Hope, Steffie & Liam Saga! I know several friends who have quit watching this soap because of poor writing story lines. Most women, housewives who watch range from 30’s-60’s in age and arent interested any more in these teenagers. So in closing we don’t care who Liam picks! COME UP WITH NEW STORY LINES!!

After watching B & B since its beginning here in Oz in March 87, I must say I have been very saddened by the recent departures of Ronn Moss and Susan Flannery. To my viewers mind there is no excuse for Ridge not attending his mother’s passing. After all it was the passion of this bind which was the glue for all story lines. Brooke of course has and always will be my favourite, but if they are thinking that Bill is going to provide some foil for romance and drama I am GONE!…thanks Ronn and Susan and blessings from a loyal fan from Oz.

That probably explains why soap operas are not real.

I just find it disgusting that the people of B&B did not invite Ronn Moss (ex-Ridge) to return although he had been on the show since it aired in 1987. He is a part of the show regardless of someone else (Thorsten Kaye) taking his place as Ridge Forrester.

I am also upset about some other actors/actresses who were taken off the show as well. I miss these characters so much: Bridget, Samantha Kelly, Caitlin Ramirez, Hector Ramirez, Darla Forrester, Sally Spectra, Macy Alexander, Nick Marone, Dayzee Carter, so on.

I still watch B&B today even though I do not like that the really good characters keep disappearing from the show.

In major developments in the last several hours, Jussie Smollett (Jamal Lyon, Empire) turned himself in to Chicago police early Thursday morning, just hours after he was charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself late in January on the streets in Chicago.

In a press conference currently being conducted by the CPD supervisor, Eddie Johnson and Commander Edward Wodnick, they revealed that Smollett turned himself in quietly and without issue. In addition, the Chicago PD are outlining the events and timeline that led to Smollett’s arrest.

Smollett turned himself in at the Central District police station in Chicago at 5 a.m., police reported. Thursday morning, Smollett was scheduled to appear for a bail hearing Thursday at 1:30pm central time on a felony charge of a class 4 disorderly conduct, and with that charge Smollett could face up to 1.5 years in prison.

Jussie’s attorney’s released the following statement on Wednesday night after Smollett was charged by the Chicago PD: “Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been repeatedly leaked. Given these circumstances, we intend to conduct a thorough investigation and to mount an aggressive defense.”

Smollett reported that he has been attacked as he was walking home around. He claimed two masked men shouted racist and homophobic slurs as they beat him, put a noose around his neck, and poured a chemical on to him.

Enter two brothers, Ola and Abel Osundairo, who Smollett knew, who were arrested last week, but later released as suspects. The two brothers told police they helped stage the attack with Smollett. They were paid $3,500 to orchestrate the attack by Smollett. In their press conference, the Chicago PD revealed that they have the check as evidence were Smollett paid the brothers that sum.

The brothers left for Nigeria hours after the attack, and were arrested days later when they returned to Chicago. On Wednesday, they testified to a grand jury. Smollett was later charged with disorderly conduct.
